In the future, guide dogs might be robot dogs. One robot guide dog is called Meldog. It has wheels. It walks in front of its owner. It is very
17、 clever. It knows the speed of its owners walk. Meldog talks to its owner by radio. The owner wears a special belt. This belt sends instructions from the owner to Meldog such as Stop here, Turn left, and Turn right. In the United States, another type of robot helps disabled workers. This robot, call
18、ed Kilroy, helps disabled computer operators. The robot hears the sound of its owners voice. It follows instructions such as, Turn the page and Make a cup of coffee. This robot will bring its owner a paper tissue when he or she sneezes!Robots are also used in American hospitals. They can do simple j
19、obs. For example, they shave patients and brush their teeth. At one hospital, a robot with the nickname Roscoe takes meals from the kitchen to patients rooms.

CReading to dogs is an unusual way to help children improve their literacy skills(读写能力). With their shining brow
28、n eyes, wagging tails, and unconditional love, dogs can provide the nonjudgemental listeners needed for a beginning reader to gain confidence (自信心) , according to Intermountain Therapy Animals (ITA) in Salt Lake City. The group says it is the first program in the country to use dogs to help develop
29、literacy in children, with the introduction of Reading Education Assistance Dogs (READ) . The Salt Lake City Public Library is sold on the idea.

You get nervous, you forget what you want to say, you stumble over words, you talk too long, and you bore you
35、r audience. Later you think, Thank goodness, it s over. I m just not good at public speaking. I hope I never have to do that again. Cheer up! It doesnt have to be that bad. Here are some simple steps to take the pain out of speech making. First of all, it is important to plan. Do your homework. Find
36、 out everything you can about your subject. And, at the same time, find out as much as you can about your audience. Who are they? What do they know about your subject? Do they have a common interest? Why are they coming to hear you speak? Put yourself in their shoes as you prepare your speech. Ask y
37、ourself the purpose of your speech. What is the occasion? Why are you speaking? Are you introducing another speaker? Moderating a discussion? Giving a lecture? Convincing someone? There are many possible speaking roles, and each one has its own special characteristics. Make sure you know into which
38、category you fit. Dont spoil your speech by confusing one speaking role with another. Let us suppose that you have been asked to introduce the main speaker at a conference. First, find out the most important and interesting things about the speaker. Then, summarize this information in a few remarks.
39、 It is all right to tell a joke or an anecdote if it is in good taste and will not embarrass the speaker. And, most important, be brief. Remember, you are not the main speaker; you are introducing the main speaker. If you are a moderator, you should begin by giving a quick introduction of the people
40、 on the panel. After that, you should try to keep the discussion running smoothly, and you should try to focus on the connections between speakers. Keep yourself in the background. Dont talk too much, and dont interrupt the panelists. Be tactful and be considerate. If you are giving a lecture or exp
41、laining an idea, gather as many facts as you can on your subject. Spend plenty of time doing your research. Then spend plenty of time organizing your material so that your speech is clear and easy to follow. Use as many examples as possible, and use pictures, charts, and graphs if they will help you
42、 make your points more clearly. Never forget your audience. Dont talk over their heads, and dont talk down to them. Treat your audience with respect. They will appreciate your thoughtful-ness. If you are trying to sell something, you will need to convince your audience. Do you want them to vote for
43、Candidate A? Are you offering them a new, improved toothbrush? This kind of speech is usually dramatic, but here too, you must do your research and know your facts. When you are making your speech, try to relax. Speak slowly and clearly and look at people in your audience. Use simple vocabulary and
44、expressions whenever possible. Pause for a few seconds now and then to give your audience a chance to think about what you have said. Make sure that everyone in the room can hear you. If it is a large room or an auditorium, you will probably have to use a microphone. Just remember: be prepared. Know
45、 your subject, your audience, and the occasion. Be brief. Say what you have to say and then stop. And be yourself. Let your personality come through so that you make person-to-person contact with your audience. If you follow these simple steps, you 11 see that you dont have to be afraid of public sp

EThe journey two naval (海军的) officers made some time ago to the very deepest point on the earth makes us realize h
50、ow much of the world still remains to be explored. The two men went down seven miles to the bottom of the Pacific Ocean inside a small steel ball called a bathyscaphe to find out if there are any ocean currents (急流) or signs of life. It was necessary to set out early, so that the bathyscaphe would c
51、ome to the surface in daylight ( 白昼) , and so be easily found by the mother ship which would be waiting for it. The divers began preparations at dawn and soon afterwards, when all was ready, the steel ball disappeared under the surface of the water. In time, the temperature dropped to freezing-point
52、 and the men trembled (颤抖) inside the ball. They kept in touch with the mother ship by telephone describing how they felt. Then, at a depth of 3,000 feet, the telephone stopped working and they were quite cut off from the outside world. At 30,000 feet, the men were surprised by a sudden, loud noise:
53、 even the smallest hole in the ball would have meant instant death. Lucidly, though, it was only one of the outer windows that had broken. Soon afterwards, the bathyscaphe touched the soft ocean floor raising a big cloud of dust made up of different kinds of small, dead sea animals. Here, powerful l
54、ights lit up the dark water and the men were surprised to see fish swimming just above them quite untroubled by the very large water pressure. But they did not dare to leave the lights on for long, as the heat from them made the water boil. Quite unexpectedly, the telephone began working again and t
